and think, we do that which satan does.
When we love, we exercise a faculty
which satan docs not use, which evil
men do not use, but which only God and
Cody understand or use. You intro
duce the right order, and you have the
highest excellence of each. Let life be
keyed to the love of God, and it will
clarity intellect and help bodies. Where
are the best thinkers? Under the fos-
tering care of the Christian religion they
are found. Better Prime Minister OF
England than King of Dohamy. This
gives worthy purpose for thought.
The student will be better one who
thinks of his studies as making him
capable OF moro hearty reaching out
toward God, and so more capable OF
enjoying Him mere and his heaven here
after.
If you would have the ideal man, you
must have the sound mind in the sound
body, and the sound moral nature.
This makes of the body sacred tenn
pie" and of the mind a wrondrous
kingdom, because both minister to a
heart pure and true.
Mere learning will not make you. It's
an old saying that "a man may be fool
in seven languages, and it were the
most consummate folly if, with all your
knowing, you failed of the language of
heaven.
III. Gods oppression one Of toUe.
Show us the father, and it suf1iceth US.
The deepest needs never met else.
Never can you satisfy the hungry heart,
or soothe the aching heart, or calm
the purturbed heart of humanity by Ge-
ometrlc angles or Greek roots. As well
try to satisfy intellectual hunger with
roast beef and mutton chops.
The time is not likely to come
when mothers will sing the multi
plication table for lullaby songs! God
understands the needs of his creatures,
and he sent bread and meat to the (else)
famlshlng Elijah. He provided schools
for the intellectual furnishing of his
prophets. He sent his son with tokens
of peace, telling and showing how his
love still burned toward humanity with
unquncchable ardor! "What man is
there of you whom, if his son ask bread
will he give him stone" When the
heart of humanity cries out for the
bread of life, have no fear that God will
give it an intellectual stone!
AS one whom his father pities, so God
pities. AS one whom his mother COM
forts, so God comforts. How much
knowledge Christ might have disclosed.
Yet he stood, and said: Come unto
me, all ye that labor and are heavy
laden, and will give you rest"
III. Love is eternal principle.
Do | need to emphasize this to you,
who are in the dewY freshness of the
morning?
Your psalm of life is not yet in
s'mournful numbers" That il should
ever be, may heaven forfend. To you
it is still springtime. For you the birds
practice their choirs in the tree-tops
tor you the larks rise to salute the sun
with their mystic psalmody. For you
flowers bloom and waters sparkle, and
trees clap their hands. tits middle age
or old oge, that sings with Wordsworth
.rTherc was time when meadow, brook anC
stream,
"And earth and air, and every common sight
Ito me did seem
'Apparaled in celestial light,
THE freshness and the glory Of dream"
For you the light still glistens, thu
freshness still abides and the glory still
endures. And yet you wish to forecas
the future. You do not wish to Civ,
the strength of early manhood o.
womanhood to things that perish will
the using. You wish to sieze upoI
abiding truth!
The love principle is the abiding prin
ciple AS gold is current in all lands
so is love in all worlds. 1t is the cur
rency of heaven; so, if you cultivat
Cody love in your heart, you are laying
up treasure in heaven How much per
manent? That aSsuredly is. All els
fails. LoUe neUer faiieM. 1t turns out
sometimes, that yesterdays science
is to.day's absurdity. Bible remains tn
same. Its truth are perennial. The Low
that loyal souls have to God shall en-
dure. 1t is the keynote of all grandeur
here and hereafter. () Do not dwell
in lower stories, of being. (2) Thi
gives freedom and perfection to life
to creation, to all we are, and see an
know. We discover wide laws, fal
reaching as The domain of the Almighty
instead of tne fragmentary thing tina
life is else. The same great law whic
hangs the world in spherical beauty i
the vault of hoaven, hangs the dew-dro
on the petal of tho rose. The sam
great law OF love that rules the hieral
chies of heaven, rules lhe faithful hear
of the humblest child!
And So you may rise to the conceptio
of England's Laurete, as You see in tn
worlds about you, and in your hear
worlds, traces of Zone God, one Law
one element" and you see in the china
of calvary:
THE one far-off divine event,
ITO which the whole creation moves"
s. This is the only FIJI solution.
An intelligent Chinaman compare
the religion of Christ and Cenfucal
ism to bridges. One lacks an essentil
span.
